About Salted tortilla chips
Salted tortilla chips are a popular snack derived from Mexican cuisine, crafted from thin corn tortillas that are cut and fried or baked to achieve a crispy texture, then lightly seasoned with salt. Typically made from ground corn, water, and oil, they often include a trace of lime, which helps in nixtamalization, enhancing nutritional value during tortilla production. These chips are rich in carbohydrates, serving as a quick energy source, and contain some fiber due to the corn base. However, salted tortilla chips can be high in calories, sodium, and fat, especially if fried, making moderation essential for a balanced diet. Enjoyed with salsas, guacamole, or as the base for nachos, they offer versatility and a connection to traditional Mexican cuisine. Opting for baked versions or pairing them with nutrient-dense dips can elevate their health profile, making them a flavorful yet mindful snack choice.
